Nollywood Actress Joke Silva Celebrates Husband Olu Jacobs’ 82nd Birthday Amidst Reports of His Passing

Silva wished her husband an "amazing year ahead" in a heartfelt message accompanied by a photo of the couple. She wrote, "82 just like that… Agba ko mi nira l’agbara Jesu… Sir J of life @ _olujacobs".
